Exactly it’s utterly made up nonsense.  Football Finance Expert my arse.  I remember another one coming out with the obvious a couple of years ago (when we were going down) things like ‘if villa go down they will lose a lot of money you know.’ And passing it off as some sort of investigative piece by a football finance expert.

Bad news is easily bought.

I'm.having a hard time believing he's seen a contract to be honest. Actual eyes on. Seems like horsehit.

Of course he could’ve rung ‘monster monster’ and said ‘any chance of seeing Hulk Hogans contract like’

I'm sure a lot of what that guy says is bollocks. However, you don't need his 'testimony' to be pessimistic as hell about next season.

That Star article is mostly a rehash of Tony Xia's statement.  Considering his options (in terms of selling the club) is the most obvious thing to write given that everything has its price and he is a businessman!

They have sensationalized the situation.
However the underlying position regarding our a Financial condition is extremely serious.
We have got to find savings or genrperate additional profit of  around £40 million this Financial year.
We bet the farm, we lost.

sending the loan players back and selling Amavi, Gollini, Elphick, De Laet etc should at least make a reasonable start on its amelioration

The only problem is it then leaves us without a squad.

Surely amavi has gone?

This seems to suggest Tony isn't in great shape.
The good news keeps rolling. Maybe FFP is a convenient excuse and we actually don’t have a pot to piss in

All I get is a Chinese version of that article is there a translation?  I think it mentions Lotus Health.
